POV: Claire
“So, what games are you playing?
You actually thought you could get away with stealing from me?
Why didn’t you return the goods when you couldn’t get her to move them around town, what stopped you from bringing them back to me the same way I handed them to you?” He asked Kyle again, pushing him to say more things that could annoy me further.
I still couldn’t believe that he had a girlfriend that he planned to elope with. That means that he never loved me from the beginning, he was simply using me to get what he wanted. Vee had been right all along, he was never good for me. She always told me that Kyle would our me in a mess that would make me regret getting into a relationship with him.
Well, here I am already. And the worst part of it is that I have nothing to give to Dominic in exchange for my life and my freedom. I haven’t even had time to call Vee and tell her what is happening to me. She would be so devastated and worried about me. She wouldn’t even know where to look, she can’t even go to the cops because I’ve not been here for forty-eight hours. It would take a while before anyone would find me here. So it’s either I find my way out of here or I’m fucked.
“Shes not worth my life, Capo. I’m not dying for a dumb bitch who is going to dump me the first chance she gets. You can have her and your car back. I just want to get the hell out of here, I can’t wait any longer, I can’t be here, I fucking hate it here!” he whined continuously, sounding more pathetic. He has no regrets or remorse for his actions. If anything, he seems proud and greedy.
I tried not to punch the damn glass and away from my position. I’m so pissed off at him that I could feel myself fuming in rage. He didn’t even consider the fact that he was in no position to be bargaining with Dominic. He still owes the guy so much money, he is literally in prison in this house. But he doesn’t seem to care about his crimes, he is willing to say anything and make huge promises, as long as it gets him off the electric chair.
“What if I kill her, like I did your other girlfriend, I mean, the one you tried to elope with. What are you going to offer me if I get rid of her?
Will you offer me your life in exchange for your freedom, who’s life are you going to sacrifice next, or is there a third girl that I don’t know about?” he asked him. He was asking the questions that polled up in my head, it was as though he was reading my mind and responding to my question. He kept looking at the glass every often to remind me that we had a real.
If only he knows how I’m feeling right now, if only he can sense how heartbroken I am right now. Not only did I lose my boyfriend, but I may never love a guy that deeply ever again. Kyle just succeeded in ruining my life, he just made falling in love with a guy more complicated and annoying at the same time. Dominic is expecting me to keep to my word and put an end to this rubbish right now, in his presence.
I want to do it, trust me, I really want to hurt him. But I just can’t bring myself to hurt him like he hurt me. I know he messed up big time, but I wouldn’t have said or done anything if he hadn’t pushed my last button and triggered my anger. He was asked if he was willing to sacrifice himself to get out of this predicament.
“Will you offer me your life in exchange for your freedom, who’s life are you going to sacrifice next, or is there a third girl that I don’t know about?” Dominic wanted to know if he had other girlfriends apart from the one who was killed when they were planning to elope. I half expected him to say that there was no one else but me.
I mean, even if he is as stupid as everyone is saying he is, I hoped within me that he would give me this little respect seeing as everyone now calls me a fool for even agreeing to be with him in the first place. But this idiot had an overactive imagination, he thinks he is going to get Victoria to be with him. He actually has a crush on my sister and he refused to voice it out all this while he was dating me,
“I could woo her dumber sister and get her to fall in love with me like her sister did. She is always pretending to be classy and acting as if she hates me. Trust me, she can’t resist me if I want her. And when I’m done with her, I’ll bring her right here to work for you. I’ll get you as many girls as you want, I’ll work for you as long as I live. Just let me go, please,” he begged him. Dominic laughed so hard that I thought he was actually buying these lies.
He walked towards the glass and stood in front of the glass, his eyes fixed on me as if he could see me through the glass. I know how these glass windows worked, I know he can not see me from the other side. I could see them from my end, but he couldn’t see me from there so I’m wondering why it feels like he is staring right at me. He kept his eyes on me and I couldn’t look away either. He smirked at me as if he knew I could see him,
“So you used her, right from the beginning of your relationship. And you plan to use her sister too, huh?” he asked Kyle, his eyes still fixed on me.
“That’s the deal, Capo, I’m always one step ahead of all these bitches. They never see it coming, they always love me, you know what I’m saying?” he laughed, making Dominic scoff at his confidence. He kept his eyes fixed on mine. It’s as if he wanted me to do something, he’s pushing me to fulfill my end of the bargain, but I don’t want to. I can’t stand the sight of Kyle, I can’t look at him right now. I could kill him if he dared to name one stupid comment before me.
“Get in here, right now!” He mouthed to me, confirming to me that he could see me through the glass. How possible is that?
If they could see me through the glass, then why the hell was Kyle speaking to me like that when he knew I could see and hear him clearly. Could it be that Dominic is just playing games with me, are they both playing with my head and my heart?
I turned my attention to Kyle and I noticed that he was as confused as I was, he didn’t understand what was going on either. He wanted to know what was going on, his curiosity made me even more furious and I decided to show up and clear his doubts. I walked towards the door and pushed it open forcefully.
“You fucking bitch!
Have you been there all along?” he asked me furiously, glaring daggers at me. That fucking pissed me off, I walked over and punched him in the face, giving it all I got. His head turned the other way and he screamed in anger and pain, struggling to break free and hit me back. His anger made me more angry because he had no right to feel angry after he just sold me out. I felt so used and furious, so I hit him again and again and again. I kept hitting him until Dominic pulled me away from him. He held me firmly, trying to germs to calm down.
“That’s your boyfriend, ask him whatever you want to know and leave the torture part to me.” he told me sternly, forcing me to look at him. I gazed back at him and our eyes locked, an unspoken tension hanging In the air between us. Dominic reaches out a hand to brush a stray tear from my cheek, his touch sending a jolt of electricity through me. Hell, I didn’t even know that I was crying, I’ve never felt this betrayed in my whole life. I can never forgive him for this betrayal.
“Kill him, Dominic. I want his head, and then I’ll be all yours!” I told him fiercely, watching the colors drain from Kyle’s face.
